I know an awful lot of you guys have installed aluminum floorboards in your 911's so I am asking for some input.
The car is a Cab and has had a trashed wooden floorboard for the driver's side since I bought it (about a year now). The trashed board didn't bother me much because it's been well hidden behind the carpet. However, I decided to buy a Rennline floorboard to spruce things up a little and add some strength back to that area (I could feel the old, trashed board flex under the pedals sometimes).
The problem is that when I try to put the new one in, it
almost slides in perfectly. The clips at the top line up nicely but when I try to push the bottom into place, the left side of it jams right up against the structure to the left of the pedal cluster before the board has a chance to seat properly. What seems to be holding it up is a large wire run under the carpeting on the sidewall that looks like it is most certainly supposed to be there. It looks installed by Porsche. The wire run protrudes up underneath the carpet just enough to interfere with the placement of the floorboard.
I'm thinking that I'll just trim some of the floorboard away where it interferes with the wire run until everything fits nicely. What do you guys think? Have any of you run into this issue before?
It seems a shame to have to trim away some of that beautiful aluminum in order to get it to fit. And yes, it
is a board for a Cab. I ordered it properly because I know that they are different slightly in that area than those for the coupes.
Thanks guys.
